The safe choice: iPhone 15
iPhone 15 got USB-C, so you can use the same cable as for your computer and most other things. It has Dynamic Island and a 48 MP main camera. It's new enough that it will get updates for many years yet.
Want Apple Intelligence?
Apple's AI features require at least an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPhone 16. The 15 Pro is usually the cheapest way there, and you also get a 120 Hz screen, a titanium frame and three cameras with 3× zoom. Also read iPhone 15 or 16?
Big screen
